Amazon's New Third Generation Kindle

Amazon.com's third generation Kindle has temporarily sold out according to the online retailer. The new Kindle is going to provide fierce competition to the Apple iPad, and other e-readers.

There are two models available, the third generation Kindle (Free 3G) for $189, and the Kindle with wi-fi, for $ 139. The new Kindle has a 6-inch e-ink screen with 50% better contrast, so you can read the screen even in bright sunlight.

The body is 21% smaller, and 15 % lighter weighing in at only 8.7 ounces, and a battery life of up to one month. The storage has been expanded to 3,500 books, and most users can carry their entire library with them.

The New Kindle has 20% faster page turns, has an enhanced PDF Reader, and a New WebKit-Based browser, with which you can browse the web over Wi-Fi. Low book prices for over 510,000 books, which are available for less than $10 each, and over 1.8 million free, out of copyright, pre 1923 books are available including such Classics as Pride and Prejudice.

It also has a Text-to-Speech capability, that allows the Kindle to read out loud English-language content to you. The pricing structure is so low as to give competitors a tough price point to compete with.
